salivarius?

Thanks.

Well, since the only legal strains a s. thermophilus, l. bulgaricus, l.

acidophilus, and l. casei, with s. boulardii as a supplement (the others

are either in yogurt or a supplement), no, there isn't a legal

probiotic containing that strain.

It looks like an interesting strain, however.

It's not a strain Elaine specifically authorized. Therefore, it's not

something which I can comment on. (Thanks, I took enough flack when

I went out on a limb and said that cocoa butter, as a fat, might be

legal, since other oils derived from non-legal foods were.) You're pretty

advanced, however, and have added some non-SCD things (like nettles) back

into what you use. So it may well be something for you to consider, if

you can find a brand without other illegals.

It's very rare that one finds the strains separate, and, in particular,

without bifidus thrown in. Or FOS. That makes it hard to test the effect

of a single specific strain and determine whether it's something you wish

to experiment with. You might take a look at

As I said, it looks like an interesting strain. I'd be particularly

interested in the anti-inflammatory effects.
